Aunty Clare Comes To Stay

As I've been so busy what with shows & baths & chewing sticks, I never got around to telling you about Aunty Clare coming to see me. Aunty Clare is my mum's little sister. She always spoils me LOTS, which mum & dad always tell her off for, but which I LOVE! Mmm, pigs ears, thank you!

As it was a nice sunny day, I asked if we could go out somewhere with Aunty Clare instead of being stuck in the house. I just love going out in the car & watching the world go by.

We went to a place called Coate Water where there is a big man made lake which you can walk around (& swim in if you like freezing yourself), & the hoomans can hire canoes or play golf, cycle or run. They were trying to build a university campus & lots of houses here, but there were LOTS of protests & it seems like people power won & the plans will not now be going ahead, yay!

I found this old tree stump, & had a good check that there were no squirrels lurking inside. Cooee, Mr Squirrel? Come on out & say hello to me!

Here's a view across the lake. It really is very pretty. There were quite a few doggies swimming, but it was just far too chilly in my opinion.

This is mum & Aunty Clare. Not a great photo. doG knows what mum is doing pulling a "Doofus" face. Do you see how much clobber I have on? A collar, my flexi leash, my bandanna, my car harness & my halti (as there are LOTS of doggies here & I just want to go & play with them all, even the scary ones!). I think mum has mistaken me for a pack horse, not a puppy! I kept trying to take Aunty Clare's gloves off her as they were so bright & fun to toss around!

We met this swan family, but they were protecting their (very big) baby, so weren't very friendly at all. You wouln't want to chase these guys Nanook, I think they would have fought back!

At the park there is a model railway that hoomans can ride on. I think it's supposed to be for children & their parents really, but mum & Aunty Clare wanted to go on it, big babies!

It was a fun afternoon. I hope Aunty Clare comes to see me again very soon. Next time, see if you can find me one of those Bully Sticks pretty please!

Oscar that looks like so much fun! I went to the park today to practice for my test with my old friend Razor the doberman. But when we went back to Razor's house to play he and I got into a big fight because he was jumping on my head and growling and snarling. It was kind of scary. So now Razor and I aren't allowed to play together until we have both been 'fixed' although I don't know why I need to get fixed, I am not broken!

Wow Oscar! You are a gear head! I bet your mum invests in a backpack soon! My mum did Sometimes, if we walk to the beach, I get to carry my own water & toy in my backpack! I'm also less likely to jump on all the other doggies too! Too bad you didn't get to ride the train! I bet you would've liked it!AireGEAR!Liberty

PS Mum told me that those bully sticks are made by a company called Red Barn. May be you can find them online or a feed store that sells them!?

Hey Oscar, Your Aunty is very nice to you. Sophie has a halti too and she hates it! Actually, since her foster sister passed away (boo hoo), she doesn't have to wear it. The two of them together pulled and pulled. Your mom has groovy rubber boots. Do you call them rubber boots where you live?

Hey Oscar, we found out about you not being able to find 'bully stick'. So we are planning to get you some and send it over for you to try. We already managed to trace where you stay..hehe.So look out for the mailman :)

Hey Oscar,How come you aren't on the train??? You sure have nice parks to play at. Too bad there weren't any squirrelies hiding in the tree stump for you to nab. Would you like us to ship you some snow??? We have tons of the stuff now.Luv & Wirey Hugs!Butchy & Snickers

About Me

I'm an 13 month old male Airedale Terrier puppy. My name is Oscar (well, my KC name is Sherifs Sundance Kid but that's a bit much day-to-day). I live in the South of England with my humans & my sister Flakes the Big Fat Cat. I attend obedience classes which I absolutely love! I've been awarded my bronze, silver and gold certificates, so it's full steam ahead for my platinum now. I started agility training in June 2007. I love making new doggy and human pals.
